This is an incredibly cute inflatable, and it works extremely well. Given its size, I assumed it would have some trouble staying upright, or at least trouble getting upright, with the rain and wind we tend to get in October. Instead it quickly pops up without any help at all, even when soaking wet. I put it up near some shrubs to give it a wind break, but it still took a decent amount of wind and never had a problem staying upright. I look forward to getting more Halloween inflatables like this one.
